On the vast land, hundreds of defeated soldiers were trudging southwards with great difficulty.
"Let's work harder, brothers. Once we cross that river, we'll be in River East!"
Fan Kuai galloped back and forth on his horse, cheering for his soldiers.
Liu Ji looked at the scene with a smile, a blade of green bristle grass in his mouth.
Not only had he recovered from his injuries, but he was also more confident now!
This confidence came from his real Golden Finger, the Demon-refining Gourd!
The gourd could refine everything, absorb Spiritual Opportunity, and enhance his strength.
Previously, it was just a small demonstration. He had healed his injuries and refined a few ancient books. This had greatly improved Liu Ji's foundation and knowledge of the ancient language. Even Xiao He and Cao Can, who talked to him for a while, would show their admiration.
Liu Ji understood that in troubled times, the king chose his subjects, and the subjects chose their king!
If he did not perform wisely and give them hope, sooner or later his subordinates would scatter like birds and beasts.
Needless to say, this team had just experienced a defeat, and their morale was shaken.
Therefore, with the help of the Demon-refining Gourd, he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, which helped to stabilize their morale.
After temporarily stabilizing Xiao He and Cao Can, he took the opportunity to refine a few wild boars and mountain wolves, improving his physique to the peak of an ordinary person. He also improved his martial arts skills, such as archery and horsemanship. Now, he finally had the ability to protect himself.
"It's a pity … I can't find a book of Immortal Cultivation."
Liu Ji looked at the attribute bar that only he could see. There were labels such as [Ancient Language Level 3], [Horsemanship Level 2], [Archery Level 1], and so on. He sighed in his heart.
He did not have the Immortal Cultivation Technique, so he could not improve his Golden Finger no matter how powerful it was.
Moreover, after this period of exploration, he realized that the more powerful a skill was, the harder it was to improve it, and the more Spiritual Opportunity it would consume.
To improve the Immortal Cultivation Technique, the Demon-refining Gourd would have to devour demonic beasts with the bloodline of exotic beasts, or other Immortal Dao spiritual items.
"All in all, I'm poor!"
Liu Ji spurred his horse and looked at the surging river, feeling a little excited.
No matter what, he could finally see Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu.
Although compared to him, he was like an ant compared to an elephant, but he had a Golden Finger, so he could definitely grow!
Right at this moment, a bugle horn suddenly sounded from the sky.
"Not good, the pursuers are here!"
Fan Kuai shouted.
Liu Ji raised his head in shock and saw three pitch-black … flying ships?
They didn't have sails or oars, but they had two wings. They flew through the clouds as if they were swimming in the Yangtze River.
"It's the Immortal Qin Flying Wing Boat! This boat can carry 200 soldiers, and most importantly, there must be a cultivator presiding over it! "
Xiao He's face was full of panic. "We are definitely not their match. The only thing we can do now is to scatter and run for our lives. Let's try to survive!"
"How can this be?"
Liu Ji's face was filled with unwillingness. His team had just opened, and now they were disbanding?
"Insolent traitor, accept your death!"
At this moment, a cultivator rode his sword down from the flying wing ship in the sky and shouted, "I am Immortal Qin's Black Mountain Commandant, Li You. Thief, why aren't you surrendering?"
"A completion leveled cultivator!"
"Sword cultivator?"
Xiao He's face was full of despair. "He's too fast. None of us can escape … We're just a small volunteer army, yet we ran into the Immortal Qin's commandant. We're so unlucky!"
In midair, Li You flicked his fingers and casually shot out a thunderous sword energy, which landed among the crowd on the ground.
Rumble!
As if an aerial bomb had exploded, none of the soldiers within a dozen meters survived. The terrifying shockwave swept through the area with the aura of thunder, instantly turning the volunteer army into a complete mess.
"Is … is this the might of a Golden Core ancestor?"
Liu Ji looked at Li You who was charging at him on his sword, full of unwillingness. "I hate it … If I'm given time, I'll definitely become a Golden Core ancestor, or even stronger than him!"
At this moment, the surrounding environment changed. Hundreds of flowers bloomed, forming a world of their own!
"Li You, how dare you come to my River East and slaughter the volunteer army! How dare you!"
A woman's voice resounded throughout the entire world of flowers.
"Ah … Nascent Soul Realm!"
Li You merged with his sword and retreated desperately, but a jade-like hand slapped him to the ground. "Immortal Qin's troops are here. Stay here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the three flying airships in the sky exploded one after another.
"Yu Ji!!!"
Li You's resentful voice finally exploded, and then everything returned to silence.
"Haha, Master, we're saved! Madam Yu Ji saved us!"
"It's said that Yu Ji is a peerless genius among the female cultivators in River East. She and Hegemon Xiang fell in love, and both of them broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm and dominated the region …"
"If we hadn't run into this patriarch, we would be dead for sure."
"Thank you, Patriarch Yu Ji!"
…
While Fan Kuai and the others were discussing, Liu Ji had a stomach full of complaints, but he didn't know what to say. "This is Yu Ji? Are you kidding me? Why do I feel that this Yu Ji is even better at fighting than Xiang Yu? That's ridiculous! "
…
On Mount Kunlun.
Chung Shen-soo stood alone at the peak of the mountain. His eyes seemed to pierce through the endless clouds and see what was happening in the mortal world. A smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"The world is really getting more and more lively."
Kunlun, on the other hand, was very peaceful.
Back when the Patriarch accompanied Emperor Mu to Kunlun, he had heard many secrets. He knew that Kunlun did not care much about the affairs of the mortal world and that they did not care much about sacrifices and tributes. This was why he had decided to conquer Western Zhou.
After he became the ruler of Immortal Qin, he had ordered the protection of Kunlun's sacrifices and offered tributes to Kunlun on behalf of Western Zhou. Naturally, Chung Shen-soo could not be bothered with him, and everything was peaceful.
Apart from Immortal Qin, Kunlun was now the residence of the gods and the source of the Immortal Dao.
Be it Jiang Shang or Emperor Mu … they were all related to Kunlun, so they were coveted by some cultivators.
However, Chung Shen-soo had long foreseen this, so he had set up a restriction on Mount Kunlun. No cultivator, even the Patriarch who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, would be able to enter.
As a result, the legend of Kunlun became more and more elusive, while the mountain became quieter.
"The world is going to be in chaos again."
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew. It was Qingyuan stepping on Great Arbiter Lu Wu, who had turned into a winged tiger, and came to Chung Shen-soo's side.
"The future of Immortal Qin lies in the hands of the Patriarch!"
Chung Shen-soo sighed.
The world he had created was completely in line with his wishes, but it was focused on personal cultivation.
The existence of an expert who could dominate the world was the key to becoming a powerful force.
For example, the uprising of the world's volunteer army was a piece of cake without a Nascent Soul cultivator. Immortal Qin had taken care of it like cutting vegetables.
"Even if the Patriarch cannot break through to the Spirit Ascension stage, it should not be a problem for him to cultivate the Dao of Immortals, right? Even though Immortal Qin is weak now, it is still much stronger than when Western Zhou was in its early days … "
Qingyuan said.
After so many years of population growth, there were probably more than a hundred million people in the world, far more than the ten million or so in the early days of Western Zhou.
Moreover, because of the creation of the Immortal Dao, the increase of cultivators, and the improvement of the world … her divine power had also been enhanced, and the cultivation of the Young and Grand Arbiters had also increased exponentially.
Strictly speaking, Qingyuan was also half a god, but he was only supported by a world.
"Even so, I'm afraid the feudal lords will not give the Patriarch a chance to cultivate."
Chung Shen-soo seemed to have seen through everything.
